I know these are Porsches and they can be costly little buggers to maintain but....... I took mine in today for a minor and a couple of days ago I developed a small leak in the coolant reservoir which I had them look at. They found a hairline crack in the tank and to replace the small tank - including labor of course - it is going to be $850. WHAT!!!!

Yep a 200+ dollar part plus labor.

What was the biggest single repair cost that totally surprised you? Of course it's proportionally not as bad as the $350 replaced/reprogrammed key fob I had to get a while back.
